How do we know God loves us before we are His children?

The everlasting love of God for His chosen people is a core tenet of sovereign grace theology. As noted in the sermon, God's affection and predestining love existed before we were ever created. Ephesians 1:4-5 confirms this, declaring that He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, showing that His love does not depend on our actions or beliefs, but is rooted in His divine will. This demonstrates God's unchanging nature and His commitment to His people, reminding us that His love was set upon us long before we were aware of it.
